Pragtige wooneenheid met alle basiese geriewe.

Ek sal Bien-Etre aanbeveel vir ieder en elk. Gevestig in die hart van Rondebosch en slegs 'n paar minute vanaf winkels en die konferensiesentrum. Baie veilig en Jill het ons hartlik verwelkom. Ek sal definitief weer bespreking maak.

Rus en vrede! Baie lekker gebly.

Ek het baie lekker gebly, Bien-Etre voel asof dit my eie huisie kon wees. Die tuin is so mooi en die area is lekker stil. Die selfsorg eenheid bevat alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig. Jill is baie gaaf en vriendelik. Ek sal definitief weer by Bien-Etre bespreek.

Blêrie awesome.

Jill is 'n baie goeie gasvrou. Die "klein" eenheid wat ek en my ma in vertoef het, was geskik vir 2 mense wat net wil oorslaap en rustig slaap. Die ligging is great vir mense wat naby UCT wil wees, maar ver genoeg om nie die verkeer te moet trotseer nie. Die eenheid was baie mooi skoon, met alles wat mens sou nodig hê in die kombuis. Android TV, WiFi, solar vir voldoende krag, en nog meer. Ek sal beslis weer kom!

Blêrie awesome.

Jill is a very good hostess. The "small" unit that my mother and I stayed in was suitable for 2 people who just want to sleep over and sleep peacefully. The location is great for people who want to be close to UCT, but far enough away to not have to deal with the traffic. The unit was very nice and clean, with everything one would need in the kitchen. Android TV, WiFi, solar for sufficient power, and more. I will definitely come again!

Thank you for your feedback; it seems as if you didn’t enjoy your stay at Bien-Etre. It would have been valuable if you had let me know at the time, and hopefully I could have intervened to make it more enjoyable. It certainly has been cold; the website does explain how heating works, and the gas heater is extremely efficient in warming the whole room.

Pragtig, veilig, waarde vir geld.

Fantastiese akkommodasie. Sprokies mooi tuin. Ruim, netjies, baie bykomstighede in die kombuis en kamer soos bv. baie kragproppe, klerehangers. Toegerus vir beurtkrag met gasstoof. Veilig; trellidor en diefwering en alarm, en moontlikheid van parkering binne die erf. WiFi sonder probleme. Stil woonbuurt maar tog naby aan baie toeriste-areas.

Veilige, bekostigbare verblyf in boomryke Rondebosch. Naby 'n pragtige park.

Bien-Etre is 'n veilige, bekostigbare blyplek in 'n boomryke omgewing. Die woonstelletjie loop uit op 'n klein tuintjie en ons kon die voëls uit die kamer uit dophou. Die woonstel is stapafstand van Keurboompark af met gerieflike staproetes.

Ons het die verblyf in Bien-Etre, die groter eenheid, baie rustig en gerieflik gevind.

Ons het die verblyf in die groter eenheid terdeë geniet. My man het herstel na operasie by Life Kingsbury Hospitaal en ons het oorgebly sodat hy kon aansterk voordat ons na ons tuiste in die Karoo kon terugkeer. Dit was vir ons soos tuiste in die kleine. Ons het die rustige, boomryke omgewing en klein, private tuintjie baie geniet. Ons kinders kon ons besoek en ons kon gaan stap in die veilige omgewing. Ons motor was onderdak parkeer agter geslote hek. Jill is 'n vriendelike, aangename mens en sy het baie moeite moeite gedoen toe ons 1 dag vroeër en 1 dag langer wou bly. Baie dankie Jill, ons sal beslis weer hier wil kom oorbly in die toekoms.

We found the accommodation in Bien-Etre, the larger unit, very peaceful and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay in the larger unit. My husband recovered from surgery at Life Kingsbury Hospital and we stayed so he could recover before we could return to our home in the Karoo. It was like home in the small for us. We really enjoyed the peaceful, tree-rich surroundings and small, private garden. Our children could visit us and we could go for walks in the safe environment. Our car was parked under cover behind a closed gate. Jill is a friendly, pleasant person and she went out of her way when we wanted to stay 1 day earlier and 1 day longer. Thank you very much Jill, we will definitely want to stay here again in the future.
